This package courier got stuck in a loop of stupidity while he tried to figure out where he was. It can't be easy to be a delivery driver of any kind — dealing with bad customers, traffic, and confusion caused by orders makes this quite the demanding job. But this goofy Kevin in particular is not really cut out for the role!

As u/wsele shared to r/StoriesAboutKevin, she had a truly odd encounter with a befuddled delivery dude. She wrote that she placed an order through a courier service, adding that there is not usually any issue with their orders. On this fateful day, she met Kevin, an utterly clueless delivery guy who just couldn't fathom how the customer couldn't be at the same address as him. 

Next up, this person really didn't feel like celebrating their birthday after a string of unpleasant events. But when they told their boss, they got sent home for "rudeness"!

    Bicycle - 'Where are you?' 'I'm at your door.' 'No, Kevin, I'm at my door. And you are not. Have you checked the address?'

    Font - r/StoriesAboutKevin Posted by u/wsele Courrier Kevin will die on the code hill XL A few days back, I used one of those courrier apps. I type in my info and the delivery address, wait for the guy or gal to come pick up my package. They're usually friendly and efficient, no issues until now. This time though, « Kevin » shows up. First sign of trouble: he calls my phone. That's never happened before.

    Font - • Hi, I'm Kevin from X delivery. I'm at your door. (He most certainly isn't, since that would have required me to buzz him in, to access my floor. Nevertheless, I humor him.) • Hi Kevin, did you follow someone in? (I look through my peephole and as expected, there's no one in sight). • No, I'm here. Open please.

    Font - I hear an aggravated lady through the phone : << tell them it's the wrong door! >> • Kevin? • Yes? • Where are you? • I'm at your door. • No Kevin, I'm at my door. And you are not. Have you checked the address?

    Font - Kevin hangs up. Then proceeds to call again. • Ma'am, open please, I'm at your door. (At this point the woman at the other end is threatening to call the police). • Kevin, please leave that poor woman alone, walk out, and find the right building. It's nºx, xyz road.

    Font - • I don't need to check the building. I used the entry code, the door opened, so it's the right building. • Kevin, I'm now in my building's hallway and you're not. So clearly, you're in the wrong building. I'm telling you you're wrong, the woman you've been bothering is telling you you're wrong, and I'm not having this conversation all day. (Especially considering I'm freezing my butt off, coatless, in my slippers, gradually loosing my «compassionate adult» veneer).

    Font - Kevin hangs up again, calls back. • Kevin? • Yes? • I swear to God, if you hang up on me one more time, this won't end well. Now I want you to listen to me very carefully. Are you listening? • Yes. • Good. Tell me, are you on xyz street? • Yes. • Lovely. Please walk out of that building and stand on the sidewalk. I'll find you.

    Font - I look out, and spot Kevin 2 buildings up the road. He was easy enough to find, the company dress code is bright red. Cue extra negotiations to get him to walk to me (remember, I'm still in slippers, no coat on). Kevin finally reaches me and the first thing out of his mouth is :

    Font - • Why does that building have the same entry code as yours? • How would I know Kevin? I don't live there. But two buildings can't have the same entry code, that makes no sense. • You know what makes no sense? It's you insisting that I should know what goes on over there. In a building I do not live in.

    Font - He stares at me for a few seconds then mumbles << sorry I wasted your time >>. I did ask him if he was sure he could handle this delivery, he declared he was << fine now ». And that's the most bizarre Kevin encounter I've had to date.

    Font - ischemgeek I am reminded of the Kevina I encountered a few years back who insisted I was working at the store I was in wrong after telling at me for ignoring her. I told her I didn't work there about 5 different ways, she insisted I did work there. Finally told me to follow her to the desk (I did because I was an easily cowed teenager) and she told the manager to write me up. Whereupon the manager also told her I didn't work there. "Well, why are you even here then?!" "Ma'am, It's a book

    Font - Aitorgmz Once I was at a clothing store and an old lady asked me if she could have x piece of clothing on x size. After I politely told her I didn't work there and pointed to one of the people that actually did, she proceeded to insult me, claiming I was lying because I didnt want to work. This went on for a couple of minutes, and at the end, security had to take her out.

    Font - Inner-Ad-9928 I hope your delivery required a signature to prove he had the correct recipient 69 wsele OP. Reply Share It did not. And I anxiously tracked his progress in the app all the way to destination. Luckily I now had his phone number so I asked the recipient to call him the minute he got there. Surprisingly, the package arrived in one piece and in the right hands.

    Font - eric 987235 I wouldn't have trusted that idiot with an important package. Reply Share 41 wsele OP No trust was lost on that man for sure. The package was insured so at worst the app would have reimbursed me.

    Font - Comment deleted by user wsele OP 3 days ago. . Oh a loud complaint was made, the next delivery will be free. I pondered canceling of course, but something told me Kevin would have wasted even more of my time being combative.

    Font - JU The Iron_Mountie I have had an astonishing amount of delivery people somehow screw up and bring my delivery to the wrong apartment. My two worst ones?: 1. I was a couple weeks post-op and not allowed to do any heavy lifting. Delivery guy confirms he's delivered my package. I check my door, it is not there. Call him, tell him it isn't there and ask what building he went to. "4!" "Are you sure?" "Yes!" After running around the neighbourhood and checking the buildings it was in building 6

    Font - 2. A food delivery that was marked as delivered on the app, but absolutely was not. When I contacted customer support about it she asks if I'm in apartment 12. "...no. 3. My building doesn't even have 12 apartments." Somehow someone else's address had been put on my order. I got reimbursed but I was so da hungry and had already waited over an hour between the botched delivery and getting in touch with support

    Font - 7League Boots Reminds me of a friend of mine a while back. I gave him detailed directions to where I was living, turn by turn and with descriptions of key landmarks. He calls me to say he's at the gate and can I let him in. I look out, the gate is open and there are no cars there. I ask him if he's on XY street. He says he isn't. I ask why, and he says that he passed by a gate that was exactly as he imagined the gate should look like, so he stopped there instead of following the direction
